I think the hardest thing for parents to accept is that their children are ordinary. Average. Not exceptional.
So many parents of kids that I teach simply cannot accept the fact that their children will never be the next Heifetz or Marcellus. They act like letting them discontinue lessons would somehow destroy their future and doom them to a life of anonymity.
Duh. The kid never had a chance.
